I've been selling a php self-hosted ad server, mySimpleAds, at http://wwww.clippersoft.net http://wwww.clippersoft.net for years, which makes some side money. I recently launched a SaaS version at http://mysimpleads.com http://mysimpleads.com .
For the little bit the SaaS has been up, people still seem to like the self-hosted version. So, I guess it really depends upon the product and your target customer. There's some things that some people just prefer to host on their own :-).
- throwmeaway2525 13y agoDo you think maybe it's a self-selected audience? Like these are the people that know and love you as a self-hosted product, and now you need to reach a different, more SaaSy crowd?
- quaffapint 13y agoI certainly agree, while there will be some bleed over I think the segment is slightly different. I just haven't figured out how to reach them yet.
- pknerd 13y agoHow does it compete with OpenX? Why did you chose this product?
- quaffapint 13y agoI've had many people coming from OpenX that found OpenX too cumbersome, slow, and/or confusing. So, it's a different customer base - they don't need the millions of bells and whistles, just want some quick and simple to use. I chose it because people in a forum I was a member of were asking for such a thing and thus I was presented an opportunity.
